Rules of the game
The table is divided into two equal courts its middle by a
vertical net running parallel with the table end lines.
The players stand at each end of the table, each one is
geared with a racket and must return the ball while making
it rebound solely on the court of the opposite player.
Service: each player serves twice at its turn.
The player who serves, projects the ball vertically upwards
and then strikes it so that it hits the server's court once
and passes over the net and touch once the opponent's court.
Gain of the Game: When a player misses the ball or let the
balls touch the court more than once, his/her adversary
scores a point.
The game is won when a player reaches the score of 11, or 21
(an option in the menu « Play options » permits to choose
the maximum score). In case of equality at 10 (or 20) the
game continues until there is a 2 points difference of score
between the 2 players. In this part of the game, each player
serves only one ball.
Net: The ball can touch the net during the game and is good
so long the ball passes the net and touches the opposite court.
Registering to replay in slow motion
The registering process of the rally is activated when the ball
touches the net and is not stopped but passes to the other side,
or when the ball touches lightly the side lines of the table
or when the F2 registration key is pressed down. As soon as
the ball is lost, the rally will be replayed in slow-motion.
How to Serve
When it is your turn to serve, press the left button of the mouse.
The ball is launched in the air and is hit automatically by the
racket when falling. While the ball is in air, a cross displayed
on the table indicates the assessed impact of the ball and it is
possible to adjust the angle of the paddle with the arrowed keys.
How to return the ball
Arcade mode:
To position the racket, use the arrowed keys. The racket is
automatically set in height. The return of the ball occurs
according to the position of the ball on the blade of the racket:
more distant is the ball from the center of the blade, and more
the angle of return is important.
Strength of return of the ball:
- No button = normal strength
- Left button = very strong
- Right button = mildly strong
Normal mode:

the type of control that has been selected.
While the button is pushed to orient the racket, the racket is
going to move mildly horizontally in direction of the ball.
Strength of the ball:
- No button = normal strength
- Left button = very strong
